(Central News Agency, Tehran, Comprehensive Foreign News Report on the 27th) The US military said it had retaliated against Iranian targets in retaliation for Iran’s renewed attack on ships in the important waterway of the Strait of Hormuz, putting the fragile ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran in jeopardy today. Agence France-Presse reported that the conflict has once again put tension on the negotiation process aimed at ending the war launched by the United States and Israel at the end of February. This also highlights that the world’s most important maritime route for oil and other commodities is still facing risks. The U.S. military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had struck “multiple targets” in Iran and that the operation was in response to an Iranian drone attack on the Panamanian-flagged Kiku. The tanker was carrying about 2 million barrels of crude oil. The US military said the latest wave of counterattacks mainly targeted “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense facilities, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities.” Iranian media reported that several explosions were heard in the Sirik and Qeshm areas of southern Iran. The United States also launched an air strike yesterday, saying it was in response to Iran’s attack on another cargo ship, the Ever Lovely. Iran said today it had also retaliated by hitting U.S. targets in the Persian Gulf. (Compiled by: Chen Yuting) 1150628 supports Central News Agency’s choice to stand with the facts.
